Abstract

Group work skills are essential for Computer Scientists and especially Software Engineers. Group work is included in most CS curricula in order to support students in acquiring these skills. During group work, problems can occur related to a variety of factors, such as unstable group constellations or (missing) instructor support. Students need to find strategies for solving or preventing such problems. Student collaboration patterns offer a way of supporting students by providing problem-solving strategies that other students have already applied successfully. In this work we describe how student collaboration patterns were applied in an interdisciplinary software engineering project, and show that their application was generally experienced as helpful by the students.
